Every 3rd new car bought in Europe today is an SUV-Crossover. Consumers’ love-affair with trendy SUV-Crossovers shows no sign of ending any time soon. On the contrary, AID’s exclusive figures reveal that during this year’s first half the sales share of these conspicuous fashion motors soared to yet another new all-time high. By conventional historic measures, the underlying growth and momentum of this sector overshadows anything seen in Europe in recent memory

It’s not imagination. AID compiled data reveals that Britain’s already crowded urban and rural roads now appear packed more than ever with latest design SUV-Crossovers. So much so in fact that during this year’s first half a forever growing avalanche of trendy SUV-Crossovers alone was responsible for almost four-in-ten of the new cars hitting UK roads for the first time. This on-going rate of breakneck sales expansion crowned SUV-Crossovers as the UK’s way and ahead biggest car sector, according to AID compiled car sales data

Ford Market share takes a huge plungeVolkswagen takes UK’s August car sales crown, Ford slips to new all-time low

Anyone familiar with the UK car market will expect Ford to be the undisputed market leader.
